Chapter 306: Hou Jing's Rebellion

In Jiujiang County, north of Shouchun City, Hou Jing, the general of the universe, lured Yuan Shu's 20,000 cavalry to mutiny, burned and looted along the way, and obtained a large amount of booty.

Hou Jing was originally only plundering in Pengchengguo, but when Chutian made a posture of attacking him before leaving Pengchengguo, Hou Jing hurriedly led his troops to escape from Pengchengguo and returned to Jiujiang County.

Even after returning to his lord's territory, Hou Jing still plundered villages and towns to appease his cavalry. At the same time, he absorbed a large number of ** who wanted to participate in burning, killing and looting, and strengthened his troops.

"General, a stranger wants the villain to hand over this letter to the general."

A cavalryman of Yuan Shu looked in awe and fanatically at the general Hou Jing who had taken refuge.

Because of Hou Jing's plunder, every cavalry is now very rich, with gold and silver in his arms, and he is in awe of Hou Jing.

Hou Jing took the letter and looked at ten lines.

Hou Jing hurriedly finished reading it, and said in fear: "The person who wrote the letter actually knows that I want to capture Shouchun City, this stranger has some ability. If you can use it for me, as my military advisor, great things can be accomplished. Is that Inhuman still there? ”

"Back to the general, after that stranger left the letter, he has already left."

"If you let him go, did you take his favor?"

"He did give the villain ten ...... Ten taels of silver. And he was only the one who sent the letter, and I am afraid that someone else actually wrote the letter. ”

"I lack a military advisor. But it doesn't matter if that alien doesn't want to work for me, I have a way to get a military advisor. ”

Hou Jing gathered his cavalry and the newly joined infantry.

He simply divided cavalry and infantry into thousand-sized and centurion-commander formations, and he proclaimed himself the "Great General of the Universe". In a sense, the Great General of the Universe is currently the highest self-appointed official position in the Eastern Han Dynasty, even more majestic than the Son of Heaven.

About thirty commanders were gathered by Hou Jing, and this group of commanders was promoted by Hou Jing and gained a lot of benefits when they served Hou Jing, and now they subconsciously thought that they could have more gold, silver, and women by following Hou Jing.

Hou Jing has the ability to "incite" and has a fatal attraction to some greedy soldiers.

"Brothers, the nearby villages and towns have been almost robbed by us. If we betray Yuan Shu and our own masters, we will soon be in a dead end, and they will send troops to encircle and suppress us. We will all be captured and executed! ”

Hou Jing intimidated his subordinates.

Sure enough, Hou Jing's intimidation had an effect, and the commanders under his command gradually calmed down after experiencing crazy looting, thinking of what they had done, they would undoubtedly be hated by the princes from all walks of life. Killing them all would be very exciting.

Hou Jing saw that the commanders were afraid, and knew that people's hearts were available: "Huainan has a vast land, the water is vertical and horizontal, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Shouchun City has a large amount of gold and silver, grain and grass and women, you lead the troops to attack Shouchun City with me, we rule Huainan, I will make you all generals!" Then we will own the land, and everything on the land will be our spoils! ”

The commanders under Hou Jing were instigated by Hou Jing and fell into madness again, and one of the commanders shouted: "Break through Shouchun, there is all glory and wealth!" ”

"Break through Shouchun, there is glory and wealth!"

At the instigation of Hou Jing, more than 30,000 rebels marched south to attack Shouchun City.

Hou Jing's loyalty was not low before he followed the Taishou of Jiujiang County on the expedition, but with the defeat of his own side in the Battle of Pengcheng and Chen Qingzhi, who did not suppress him, Hou Jing's loyalty declined rapidly, and finally set off a rebellion and attacked Huainan in a big way.

Hou Jing had a Hu cavalry under his command, which was a special type of army recruited by the Jiujiang Taishou by taking advantage of Yuan Shu's architecture and influence. At this time, it became the vanguard of the invasion of Huainan.

Although it is a bit arrogant to call himself the Great General of the Universe, Hou Jing is a capable and brutal cavalry general, leading the Hu cavalry and Yuan Shu's renegade cavalry to drive straight into Shouchun and assault Shouchun.

"Why is there no whereabouts of Chen Qingzhi yet, has he been killed or captured alive?"

Jiujiang Taishou fled back to Shouchun after the Battle of Pengcheng, but there was never Chen Qingzhi's whereabouts. There are only two possibilities, either Chen Qing died in battle, or Chen Qingzhi was captured by Chu Zimou.

Either way, it would be a fatal blow to him.

Guo Jia took the initiative to visit Taishou: "When his subordinates heard that Hou Jing had looted villages and towns in Pengchengguo when he withdrew his troops, he thought that Hou Jing would rebel, and asked the lord to immediately strengthen the defense of the city gate to prevent Hou Jing from attacking Shouchun City." ”

Jiujiang Taishou was puzzled: "Hou Jing's loyalty is quite high, so I ordered him to go with him to attack Xuzhou, why did the military advisor think that Hou Jing would rebel?" ”

"There are three reasons for this. First, Hou Jing was brutal by nature and loyal to the lord, just because the lord was kind to him in the past, which could satisfy his greed, and Chen Qingzhi restrained him, so he did not dare to rebel, but after the defeat of Pengcheng, Hou Jing saw that the lord had no hope of taking Xuzhou, and Chen Qingzhi disappeared without a trace, and his ambition must have grown. Time has passed, and people's hearts are unpredictable. ”

"Second, if he is loyal to the lord, he should immediately lead his troops to join the lord after the battle of Pengcheng to protect the lord and return to Shouchun City safely, why do you want to plunder the villages and towns in Pengcheng country and even in the north of Jiujiang County? Those who do it buy people's hearts and use them for their own use. ”

"Third, the lord is newly defeated, people's hearts are fluctuating, if there is rebellion, this is the best time to take Shouchun City."

Guo Jia's words made Jiujiang Taishou's face not look very good.

In his heart, he was actually suspicious of Hou Jing's delay in coming to the meeting, and at this time, Guo Jia's analysis almost confirmed that Hou Jing's loyalty had dropped to the level of rebellion.

"Lord, Hou Jing's cavalry has been running for a hundred miles, and it has appeared outside Shouchun City!"

Just as Jiujiang Taishou was preparing to increase the number of defenders at the city gate, Hou Jing, who was good at using cavalry tactics, had already approached the city, broke through the gate of Shouchun City, and drove straight in!

Shouchun City was full of shouts and killings, and there was chaos.

"The military advisor will follow me out of the city, and we will go to Yuan Shu."

Jiujiang Taishou faced the rebellious Hou Jing, and there was no military general to suppress him, so he could only choose to flee with Guo Jia.

Nominally, he is still Yuan Shu's general, and Guo Jia is a military advisor, as long as he uses Yuan Shu again, he may not have a chance to make a comeback.

Guo Jia was quite loyal to Jiujiang Taishou, followed Jiujiang Taishou, and under the protection of hundreds of personal soldiers, he fought and retreated.

Hou Jing entered the city from the north city gate, and Jiujiang Taishou fled in the direction of the west city gate.

Just when Jiujiang Taishou saw the West City Gate and thought that he could escape the catastrophe, Hou Jing led the Hu cavalry to kill.

The hooves of the horses galloped through the streets, the surrounding shops were destroyed, and the Hu cavalry used sabers to slash and kill civilians who stood in their way.

Not only the Hu cavalry, but also the renegade Yuan Shu cavalry was equally fierce, burning, killing and looting in Shouchun City. Now the whole Shouchun City is their trophy!

Hou Jing's troops were killed, and Jiujiang Taishou's personal soldiers fell one after another, leaving only dozens of people.

"Isn't this the lord? With the military advisor, where do you want to escape? ”

Hou Jing rode a war horse and circled around Jiujiang Taishou and Guo Jia.

Jiujiang Taishou faced a large number of cavalry, and knew that he could not break through: "Hou Jing, it seems that in the previous kindness, let me go." Don't forget that when you were surrounded by the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army before, it was I who led the troops to save you. It is precisely because of this kindness that I don't think you will betray, so I use you. ”

Hou Jing pointed at Guo Jia with a horsewhip: "I want to achieve great things, but I still lack a military division, if you borrow the military division, I can let you go on the previous kindness." ”

Jiujiang was too embarrassed, and he handed over Guo Jia, undoubtedly to make Guo Jia a tiger, and at the same time put Guo Jia in danger.

Hou Jing also knew that his resourcefulness was insufficient, and if he wanted to be the king and emperor, he had to have a strategist, so he beat Guo Jia's idea.

"If the lord can escape, what if he is filial piety and works for Hou Jing?"

Guo Jia guarded Jiujiang too much, so he said to Hou Jing: "I want to see the lord go out of the city with my own eyes before I can serve you." ”

"I promise you."

With a wave of Hou Jing's hand, the Hu cavalry made way of a passage, and Jiujiang Taishou and dozens of his own soldiers were able to leave the fallen Shouchun City.

"I am to blame for everything, and I have also affected the military advisor, if I have the opportunity to ......"

Jiujiang Taishou was extremely resentful of Hou Jing in his heart, and planned to endure the humiliation and burden, and then try to use Yuan Shu's power to kill Hou Jing in the future.

"Please take care, my lord." Guo Jia's voice suddenly turned low, "I'll try to get out of ...... later"

Jiujiang Taishou knew that with Guo Jia's ability, the possibility of getting out of Hou Jing's hands was not low, so he was a little relieved, so he took dozens of personal soldiers out of the city.

Just when Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was a sudden shout of killing outside the city, and hundreds of cavalry wielding sabers appeared, slaughtering Jiujiang Taishou and his personal soldiers who were out of the city!

Jiujiang Taishou and dozens of his own soldiers were ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.

Guo Jia witnessed the change, his pupils widened, his hands clenched, his nails penetrated into his flesh, and his body trembled.

Hou Jing's rampant laughter sounded in his ears: "Hahaha, I have ambushed a cavalry at the West City Gate, and they will kill everyone who escapes from the City Gate." Strategist, you miscalculated this time. In the future, if you die for me, you can't miscalculate, or I will kill you. ”

The surrounding Hu cavalry also laughed loudly, which was so harsh in Guo Jia's ears.

Guo Jia was still too young to think that people's hearts would be so sinister, and Hou Jing completely regarded Confucianism's benevolence, righteousness and faith as nonsense. He doesn't eat the doctor's set.

"Your team of 100 people, protect the military division well in the future, and don't let the military division have an accident."

After Hou Jing killed the lord, not only did he not have any guilt, but he was satisfied, and led his troops to take over Shouchun City and became the lord of Huainan.

Shouchun City and even the entire Huainan will become his territory.

Guo Jia's expression was gloomy, he was young and vigorous, he was taught a good lesson in Shouchun City, but this price was unbearable for him.

……

Langya Kingdom, Xia Liang learned that Hou Jing rebelled, captured Shouchun City, killed Jiujiang Taishou, forced Guo Jia to serve as a military advisor, and called himself the "Great General of the Universe", he also sighed lightly.

Although Hou Jing's attack on Shouchun City was expected by her, when she heard that Shouchun City had fallen and Hou Jing's troops sacked Shouchun City for three days, she couldn't help but be surprised by Hou Jing's brutality.

But she couldn't care about the people of Shouchun City, because Shouchun City was not Chu Tian's sphere of influence. In troubled times, there must be sacrifices, and the slaughter of cities is not uncommon. Since Hou Jing regards Shouchun City as his own territory, he should just be greedy for money and property, and he will not kill them all, otherwise there will be no civilians, and Hou Jing will not be able to gain a foothold.

"Inform the lord and Chen Qingzhi of this matter, and Chen Qingzhi will presumably be willing to serve the lord and quell the rebellion of Hou Jing."

In the summer, Liang sent someone to inform Chutian.

Jiujiang Taishou died, Chen Qingzhi became a military general in the field, and only Xuzhou Mu could avenge him.

Liaoxi, Guzhu City, and the two most powerful princes outside the pass broke out in a large-scale cavalry battle, which killed the cavalry of the Central Plains princes in batches, and the two sides fought a tug-of-war.

Gongsun Zan led the White Horse Righteous Servant to use his proud horse archery skills in the chaotic army, killing and injuring a large number of Liaodong cavalry.

Li Chengliang's 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry fired with three-eyed firearms, and the smoke from the burning of gunpowder filled the air, and lead bullets pierced the armor of the opposing cavalry.

Rain of arrows, gunsmoke, knives and guns, and blood stained the western Liaoning corridor red.

"The restrictions on gunpowder are too great, not only is the production limited, but only certain types of troops can use gunpowder, otherwise I would have captured Liaoxi long ago."

Mingguan and Yao Guangxiao faced the tragic battlefield, their faces were calm, and they couldn't see how nervous they were.

Although, for them, it was a decisive battle that would determine the rise and fall of the power.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

Mingguan still has the leisure to lament the restrictions on gunpowder in "Lord".

Only the Iron Rider can use a low-level firearm, the Three-Eyed Firearm.

Mingguan observed the entire battlefield and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Strategist, we should show our hole cards, right?" ”

Yao Guangxiao said: "In this battle, the lord has won. ”

Compared with Ming Guan and Yao Guangxiao, Prince Yan and Fan Zhongyan were a little anxious. Their odds of victory were much lower than those of Mingguan, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry inflicted a large number of casualties on the Liaoxi Army, which was dominated by light cavalry.

The fierce general often meets spring, and it is even more powerful.

Fan Zhongyan's face suddenly turned pale: "The Wuhuan cavalry didn't do their best...... They are about to mutiny! ”

Prince Yan hurriedly looked at the wing of the Wuhuan cavalry, just as Fan Zhongyan said, the Wuhuan cavalry had been fighting with the Liaodong army for a long time, but there were not many losses, and hurriedly said: "Order Di Qing to retreat and guard against the Wuhuan cavalry!" ”

The mutiny of the servant army is a fatal blow to the Liaoxi Legion!

Sure enough, soon the fickle Wuhuan cavalry betrayed the Liaoxi Legion and attacked the Liaoxi Legion with the Liaodong Legion!

Chang Yuchun led a team of elite cavalry to assault Gongsun Zhan's main formation, beheaded two generals of Gongsun Zhan, and bravely crowned the three armies!

White Horse Yicong was often caught in the spring and rode suddenly, and he was defeated for thousands of miles!

"Our army has been defeated, retreat to the right Beiping County, and still retain a team of troops!"

Fan Zhongyan faced the situation of defeat and was powerless to return to the sky. On the opposite side, there are the courage of Chang Yuchun, the wisdom of Yao Guangxiao, the Guan Ning iron cavalry of Li Chengliang, and the rebellion of the Wuhuan cavalry as an important force, which is difficult to turn the tide.

The Liaodong Army and the Liaoxi Army have won and lost!

This important news soon spread throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, causing many great princes to be terrified.

Especially the princes north of the Yellow River, who are about to face a terrifying prince who has risen outside the Guan.

After Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, knew that Gongsun Zan and Prince Yan were defeated, he panicked even more, and his Youzhou was in danger.

"Once Myeongguan changes its focus from suppressing the Goryeo Kingdom to a civil war, it will be unstoppable......"

When Chu Tian learned of this news, he intensified his invasion of Qingzhou. Although Mingguan only has two counties in Liaodong and Liaoxi, which are about to start, Chutian does not dare to underestimate Mingguan, and Liaodong and Liaoxi have strong cavalry and huge war potential.
